No affiliation here and I'm not sure about the gulf colors but thought I would post it. If someone else already did, could an admin delete this one.

Great looking car and very well done.
Very visually intensive, but I think it works fine for this car.
Wouldn't want all that signage on more of a daily driver type car, but for auto-x, track and coffee & cars, would be fine.
Already at $50k.
Wonder where this six conversion will end up at????

Wow, mega time and $ put into this build and it shows. Very nice

Always wonder what makes someone do that and then keep it for only a short time only to sell it for what must be a significant loss?

Anyone see how airflow gets out of the front trunk?. No air out = no air in.

Think this shot shows the approach:

The front lower metal is "notched" so the cooler sits "outside" the trunk area. Any airflow over it is controlled by the lower valance. The panel they created has a raised area reminiscent of a 911 rear filler panel - a neat subtlety / ironic touch there.

The engine lid treatment is interesting too!

I agree, pretty cool car and I'm curious to see where this one lands in both price and geography
